Default **Viva la Verve! September Week 3 {9/10/10}**

Hey girls, ready for another fun challenge???

*The Deets**
So far this year, we've been walking through a different room every month; however, I've run out of rooms! SO starting this month, I'm going to be posting inspirations pics from different random rooms in a house, no room specific. It's going to be so much easier to find you beautiful inspiration! You can use these inspiration pictures in any way you want--a color combo, a texture, a style, anything your heart desires! There will also of course be a sketch, the backbone of our challenges! So using the weekly sketches, you'll create an inspired card based on one of the photos provided. Complete all the challenges for a chance to win our next release. Verve stamps are not required, but we love to see' em if you've got 'em!

For September there will be 5 sketch challenges! All 5 sketch challenges MUST be uploaded to the SCS gallery by midnight on September 30th. On the last week of the month, I will post a Sketch Challenge Champions thread for you to link all of your projects. One lucky participant who has linked their cards on the champions thread will win our next month's entire release. The winner will be announced on October 1st. Have fun!

Our keywords for September will be Verve (if using Verve stamps) and VLVSep2010. The keywords will remain the same ALL MONTH, please make sure to add the keyword correctly or your cards won't show up in the gallery!

This week, I found the most AMAZING Etsy Shop! It's called Style Walls and has some GORGEOUS vinyl wall art! I'm SO bookmarking this site for when I get back to the states and have a real house!!! Enjoy the site! I chose a few of my favorites if you have a hard time choosing on your own

My Sample, based on the 1st picture, using Miracles Blossom

What a FUN site to go through, Amber! I had four different insp. pics chosen and finally settled on this one in the white wall version seen on the right side bar by this picture for my card

Such a great sketch, Amber. I was obviously inspired by the second picture. I took it quite literally!

Great website Amber - hard to do it justice on the 4" card I decided to make. My card uses the black & white with golden bird as its inspiration - this is it

I loved the colors of the bedding in the third photo. Here is my take on those colors.
